Guru Gita 124 Son grandsons health and wealth are increased By sincere guru gita reading even a widow is liberated. Shiva says… the reciter of Guru Gita, is blessed with sons and grandsons. Health and wealth are increased many fold. A widow is considered to be the most unlucky. But, If she recites guru gita, she will be blessed and liberated. The sight of guru is awesome luck for the seeker. It brings all blessings and meaning to life. The quest for a guru by Mukunda later Parmhansa Yogananda, is a true story. Deeper his wish for guru, troublesome was the test. Mukunda, met with many yogis of great knowledge and achievement. Some sages said he is not his destined master. Some wanted to keep him with them. But destiny not supported them. After completing secondary school, Mukunda met his father and family to say farewell. He wanted to go in search for god with all its earnestness. With his like minded friend he joined an ashram at Benares. The days in the Hermitage was really tests and practical teachings of self discipline to him. Suffering hunger was his first test. So Mukunda, observed fast for the day. In the evening the food time was further postponed as to wait for a sage returning from his travel. Mukunda asked the sage, if he is hungry. The sage replied " I spent last four days without food or drink.I never eat on trains filled with heterogeneous vibrations of Worldly people. I strictly observe Niyamas for monks." Mukunda timidly opened his concern, "Swamyji, as to follow your instruction, suppose I never asked for food, nobody give me food and I should starve to death." Swamiji said " Die, if you must Mukunda, Never admit that you live by the power of food and not the power of God. He who has created every form of nourishment, He who have bestoved appetite, will certainly see that his devotee is sustained." "Do not imagine that rice maintains you, or money or men support you. They are Lord's indirect instruments. Mukunda, Cut through the chains of agency and perceive the Single Cause." The word coming from a master purify the disciple. So attend all possible satsang. Jai Guru.

✦ Story behind this post

My grandmother clutched worn ANDAL coins, legacy treasures passed through generations. She'd whisper Kannadasan's verses while polishing them, their golden gleam catching afternoon light. These weren't currency for commerce; they were bridges connecting us to something sacred, timeless. When social networks promised wealth through sharing wisdom, she smiled knowingly. True richness, she taught me, lives in poetry's beauty, in inherited devotion. Some things shouldn't be monetized. Now I hold those same coins, reciting those same verses, understanding finally. Our greatest inheritance isn't what trades hands but what touches hearts, binding us together through shared memory and love.
